Disclaimer for the entire story: I do not own the Twilight series. I only own the characters that you don't recognize.

WRG: Until I say that it is a different POV, this story will be in Marie/Bella's POV. Got it?

Em: I think they understand that Weirdy.

WRG: (glares at Em) Don't call me Weirdy!

Em: (snickners)

WRG: BTW, I will only be typing this story up in my computer class until everyone is done with the refresher course in typing. Also, my friend who sits next to me in that class enjoys pushing the 'q' key on my keyboard, so if there is a 'q' anywhere that doesn't seem like it is supposed to be there, I probably didn't see it. I will continue SL, and after that is finished, I will type up the last chapter of HS and start the sequel. Before I forget, this indicates and exact thought. On to the story!

"Marie, are you ready yet?" I heard my eldest sister yell up to me on my fourth first day as a sophomore. "If you're not down here in 3 seconds, I swear that I will go up there and make you!" Pfpth, yeah right. "I heard that, Marie! You know I can make you do anything." I just counted down the seconds. She should be up here in 3, 2, 1, now. My door opened. Standing there was Jewel, my eldest sister and our coven leader. She has long black hair and brown eyes.

She and I looked like identical twin sisters even though we obviously, to our coven and vampire friends, aren't. After all, she is about one or two hundred years younger than Aro Volturi. She's also way more powerful than any of the vampires in his coven, but he doesn't know that. One of her powers is to disable or tamper with others' powers. She has him thinking that none of our coven has any powers, which is obviously a lie. She has every mind power you can think of and more. She can also "borrow" others' powers if they're in a sixty-foot radius of her, able to time-travel, and can change appearances. One similarity between us is the fact that we are immune to the scent of blood—we don't ever need to go hunting. That's why our eyes are brown. We can actually digest human food and need to eat it.

"Are you going to actually come down on your own or do I have to make you?" I smirked.

"Make me."

Our sister, well to the humans at the moment she's our mother, can control humans and freeze things. Jewel can use her own powers to "modify" the power to control humans to the point where she can control vampires. She does this whenever Leo, her husband and my brother, or I don't get ready for school on time, which is pretty often. Leo's power is really cool. He can blend in with his surroundings like a chameleon. Leo was changed by Jewel about fifty years after she and Josh had become vampires. She did it to save him from a fatal wound he had received while hunting. (She once told me that she

hadn't been sure if she could even do it, not because of the blood but because she didn't know if she had any venom to do it with.) She did, and they've been together ever since.

Jewel's eyes suddenly turned blue. "Fine." My legs began to move towards the stairs. I didn't feel like tempting resistance, so I started talking.

"So is Leo down?"

"Yes, in fact, he's in the car."

"Who's driving?"

"Josh is." We were outside now. I saw Leo sitting in the backseat of the Porsche. Josh and Lita were nowhere to be found.

"So where is he?" Jewel looked around. Her eyes were back to normal, and I stopped walking. Suddenly, Jewel screamed out.

"Josh, Lita, get over here! NOW!" (Normally, Jewel is very gentle, but she's not the same once she loses her patience.) Josh and Lita were coming towards us now. Apparently, they had been behind the house.

Lita is very pretty. She has honey-colored hair that goes down to her waist when it's braided. She joined the family sometime in the 1500's. Josh had been in Italy (Jewel and Leo were currently Out-of-Time), and they fell in love when she was human. (She was seventeen.) The Volturi found out that she had figured out the 'vampire secret'. They let him choose between changing her and having her be a part of their next 'meal'. He obviously changed her.

Josh and Jewel really are brother and sister; in fact, they're twins. Whoever it was that changed them changed him after he/she changed Jewel (which is the only reason she's the coven leader). They were eighteen at the time. Josh is really strong, even by vampire standards, and looks it. He's also probably the fastest vampire ever. He has the power to heal and is an empath. Because we were all turned in our teens, Jewel uses her power to change appearances to make it look like either Josh and Lita or Leo and herself in their thirties. (At the moment, Josh and Lita are posing as the parents.)

"Yes, Jewel? In case you didn't know, Lita and I were busy."

"Well, I apologize then. In case you didn't know, school starts in six minutes, and you're supposed to drive us. You two can go back to being busy after we're at school. Now get in the car!"

Josh and I got in the front while Jewel got in the back with Leo. Something good must happen at school today. Why else would Jewel be so eager to get to school? "Maybe I just don't want us to be late and give our teachers bad first impressions. Why do you always think I've had a vision about something good when I want to get to school?" That's easy to answer. "Then why don't you do so?" Something good always happens when you're eager to get somewhere, duh. Then, Leo spoke up.

"Did you have a vision about today?" Thank you, Leo! Now you can't lie, Jewel! She glared at me before answering her husband.

"Yes, I did."

"Was it about something good?" I had to ask; I had to know.

"You will find out in homeroom." Meanie. "I am not a meanie! I just don't want to ruin the surprise." Fine, be that way. "I will thank you very much." Think the others are very confused? "No, they're used to it." Will you at least tell me whether or not I'll want to kill you after homeroom? "You will be smiling after class. I will not describe it for you." At least she was telling the truth.

My power is truth. I can tell when someone is lying, and I get a pretty good idea of what the truth is. I can sometimes even get him or her to admit the truth. It's strange that this is my power because of how gullible I was as a human. The little quirk that made me immune to mind powers followed me from my human life. For some odd reason, Jewel is an exception to this.

"We're here. Now get out!" My siblings and I laughed at our 'father' before exiting the car. We sprinted (at human speed) to our homeroom.

WRG: That's the end of chapter 1.

Em: No duh.

WRG: (glares at Em) Anyway, I have up to ch. 5 of this story and most of ch 6 written down. I just found a plot bunny and it won't leave me alone. I will not be writing that story out and then typing it; instead, I will just type it up as I go along. If you're interested, it will be a xover of Moonlight and Life With Derek and will be in the LWD section on this site. I have decided to entitle it "Life in the Moonlight".
